Dogara Praises Sultan At 61

The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, has
felicitated with Sultan of Sokoto,
Muhammad Sa‘ad Abubakar III, on his 61st
birth anniversary. Dogara congratulated the
monarch in a statement issued by his
Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs,
Mr. Turaki Hassan, in Abuja on Wednesday.
He described the Sultan as a man of peace,
who used his position to build a bridge
across religious and cultural divides.

The Speaker said that the Sultan had over
the years endeared himself to all segments
of the society. “He has demonstrated both
in words and in deeds that he is a true man
of peace by always preaching unity, mutual
understanding, and peaceful coexistence
among diverse ethnic and religious groups
in Nigeria,” Dogara said.

He prayed that the Sultan’s reign would
continue to witness the remarkable socio-
economic development of the nation.
